Interaction of internal waves with the seafloor on the Namibian shelf (SE Atlantic Ocean): Implications for seafloor geomorphology

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Over geological timescales, internal waves play a significant role in shaping the seafloor morphology. They generate nepheloid layers, slope‐parallel channels and escarpments with erosional surfaces. Abstract The long‐term impact of internal waves on sedimentation and seafloor geomorphology remains poorly constrained.

Water Oxygen Isotope Thermometer in Headwaters: Indicating Groundwater Recharge and Peatland Water Dependence on Air Temperature

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Stable isotopes in water act as natural tracers of precipitation temperature. In mountainous environments, the oxygen isotopic signature measured in stream water reflects air temperature during precipitation events. Oxygen‐isotope‐derived temperatures are closely linked to recharge processes, particularly in peatlands, as well as in groundwater systems.

Multispectral Surface Reflectance as an Indicator of Groundwater Depth for Salt Crust Systems: Insights From the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The Bonneville Salt Flats (BSF) in northwestern Utah, USA, has experienced changes in area, thickness, and hydrology over the past century. This study investigates the relationship between multispectral Halite Index (HI) values, which are sensitive to halite moisture content, from Landsat and Sentinel‐2 imagery and groundwater depth (GWD ...

First Coincident Radar and Optical Observations of a Meteor Radio Afterglow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It has been hypothesized that Meteor Radio Afterglows (MRAs) occur due to resonant transition radiation (RTR) where suprathermal electrons emit as they pass through electron density inhomogeneities in a turbulent plasma. Meteor trails are thought to produce suprathermal electrons through anion oxidation, which can be identified through meteor ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Decameter‐Sized Earth Impactors—II: A Bayesian Inference Approach to Meteoroid Ablation Modeling

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Small asteroids and large meteoroids frequently impact the Earth, though their physical and material properties remain poorly understood. When observed as fireballs in Earth's atmosphere, these properties can be inferred from their ablation and fragmentation behavior.

Stratigraphy of Carbonate‐Bearing Rocks at the Margin of Jezero Crater, Mars: Evidence for Shoreline Processes?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...

A Fluvio‐Lacustrine Environment Preserved in the Jezero Crater Inlet Channel, Neretva Vallis, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian fluvial valleys provide evidence for the surface flow of liquid water, making them a key target for rover‐based investigations of ancient habitability. The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover spent ∼85 sols exploring the Bright Angel formation, exposed across the floor of Neretva Vallis: the western inlet channel of Jezero crater.

Saturn's Exploration Beyond Cassini-Huygens [PDF]

, 2009
For its beautiful rings, active atmosphere and mysterious magnetic field, Saturn is a fascinating planet. It also holds some of the keys to understanding the formation of our Solar System and the evolution of giant planets in general.

Creating a Critical Zone: Feedbacks Between Bedrock Geology, Water Retention, and Vegetation on an Exposed Bedrock Surface, Panola Mountain, Georgia, USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.
